Jean Kling

Managing Consultant

Throughout her career, Jean Kling has pursued her passion of bringing clarity to chaos as a trusted consultant, coach, and mediator for leaders and organizations. She thrives in high-stakes situations where she can make a difference by synthesizing disparate stakeholder perspectives into a clear pathway forward for all.

Jean has worked throughout North America and internationally on projects ranging from humanitarian aid and health care in West Africa to peace-building efforts in Northern Ireland. She worked as a mediator with Los Angeles County courts, community mediation organizations, schools, and private clients. She served as a board member for Mediators Beyond Borders International, an advisor for Occidental College’s Intergroup Dialogue Program, and a facilitator for the Institute of Nonviolence in Los Angeles and UN-certified Soliya Connect Program.

Today, Jean spends her time working with executives who are out to accomplish ambitious goals for themselves and their stakeholders, amid the intensity of reorganizations, mergers, acquisitions, and other high-pressure circumstances. Along with her colleagues at TGN Consulting, Jean partners with her clients to align their culture, strategy, and leadership so that their efforts are impactful -- both internally and externally.

Jean is a Newfield Network-certified and International Coach Federation-credentialed leadership coach. She received her Master's in Dispute Resolution from the Straus Institute at Pepperdine University and B.A. from Colgate University. 

When she is not working with her clients, Jean enjoys the mountains of Colorado with her husband, daughter, and ever-playful puppy, Riley.
